A few parrot fish that I just bought for a few days don t float up to eat, and I used to eat those t

The new environment can be a little scary, but it's fine. You'll eat it slowly! Some parrots are timid! Some won't! It's okay to manage the water quality well.

If you find that the fish is black and still rubbing low in the tank, then you should pay attention... That's why our fish died.

It may be hypoxia or it is possible to be sick It is recommended to install an oxygen pump to try the growth habit:

The fish is oblong in shape and even flattened on its sides. The head is short and high, the dorsal margin is acutely crested, the mouth is large, anterior, can be extended, the maxillary teeth are 1 row, tapered, the medial side often has 1 row to several rows of small teeth, 1 pair of large canines on the anterior end, and no canines at the corners of the mouth. The anterior operculum is smooth, the body is covered with medium and large round scales, the cheeks are generally scaleless or only scaly at the lower part of the back of the eyes, the lateral line is interrupted, and the lateral line scales 18 22 + 4 9.

dorsal fin, 12 13, the 1st and 2nd spines are elongated and filamentous, quite distant from the posterior spines, connected by a very low fin membrane, anal fin 11 13, caudal fin rounded. There are 4 transverse bands on the side of the body, and 1 dark spot below the 6th and 7th fin spines of the dorsal fin.

Parrotfish can grind food and coral fragments with their plate-like teeth in the pharynx. It can reach a length of 4 feet (4 feet) and weigh up to 20 kilograms (45 pounds). The body color is different, and there is a great difference between males and females in the same species, as well as between adults and juveniles.

Parrot fish are edible, but the entire taxa are of little economic value. The striped parrotfish (Callyodon fasciatus) is the dominant parrotfish in the Indo-Pacific region, measuring 46 cm (18 in) in length, with males green and orange or green and red, and females blue and yellow. Atlantic species include the queen parrotfish (Scarus vetula), about 50 cm long, with a blue colour of males with green, red and orange colours, and females pale red or purple with white stripes.

Parrot fish do not have the form of an adult parrot when they are larvae, and the appearance of the larvae gradually changes after three weeks: the head is raised, the body becomes rounded, and the body color changes from black to gray and then to red. The lifespan can reach 4 to 5 years, but after 3 lings, the physiological function of parrot fish will show signs of aging and lose its ornamental and commercial value.

It may be a lack of oxygen, have you opened the oxygenator, or it may be that the fish is not adapted to the water after changing the water, and the state is not very good, don't feed the fish first, turn on the oxygenator, raise the water temperature to 30 degrees, and the fish will slowly get better.

I'm sick. with methyl blue. White disease can also be removed. The temperature rises by 30 degrees.

Gathering on the surface of the water is hypoxic, and the parrot's mouth can't be closed, so the most afraid of hypoxia is to turn on the oxygen pump.

Parrot fish have relatively low requirements for water temperature, and the fish body is also more adaptable to temperature. People often think that parrots can tolerate low temperatures, so they make the water temperature low, in fact, blood parrots are quite "sensitive" to temperature, and they are relatively easy to raise fish in tropical fish, but it is relatively easy to raise and keep healthy, and it is easy to do without dying, but it is difficult to raise well.

In the case of low water temperature and drastic changes in water temperature, parrot fish are prone to lose their vivid body color or even fade due to physiological reactions, and even black stripes or markings will appear. The water temperature is maintained at around 28 degrees Celsius, which makes the fish look bright and vibrant. Parrots that live in low water temperatures for a long time will have color fading problems and are prone to illness and death.

Parrots will light in color within the first 2-3 hours of the water change, but will soon return to red. Similarly, if you don't add fresh water for more than 4 days, the parrot will lose color. Therefore, it is generally necessary to change the water once every three days, and change it by a quarter at a time.

Keeping the water fresh will ensure that the parrot will not fade.

It is because the tank is small and the water is less and there are more fish, or the water has not been changed for too long, the toxins in the water increase, the oxygen content decreases, and the respiratory system of the parrot fish has congenital deficiencies, only half of the respiratory function, and the toxins in the water increase, which will lead to more hypoxia, in this state the fish is very dangerous, and the floating head will lead to the death of the fish for a long time.

Solution: It is recommended to immediately change 1 3 water, and then oxygenate the water (must be charged continuously, especially at night can not be turned off), and adjust the water temperature to about 28 degrees, suspend feeding for a few days, in case the water quality continues to deteriorate, and then feed after the situation improves. The light body color of the fish also indicates that the physique of the fish has been very weak, once the water quality is clean and the oxygen content is high, the body color can be restored.

How long is a fish?

If it's short, go hungry

I'm afraid it's a lack of oxygen when you get together on the water surface, and the parrot's mouth can't be closed, so if you're most afraid of hypoxia, you turn on the oxygen pump to see

By the way, take a look at the water temperature, is it too low, above 28 degrees

Is it a new fish? Hungry for a while, let's see it!

It is possible that the habit of eating in the fish shop is at the bottom of the tank, or it is possible that after entering the tank, you don't get used to it and dare to grab food with other fish, so you wait at the bottom of the tank.

Turn off the filter when feeding, give a small amount many times, try to ensure that it does not sink to the bottom of the tank, don't bear it, you won't starve to death so quickly. When they can't eat at the bottom of the tank, they will naturally run up to grab food after a few days of hunger. After training a few times, you can't stop running up and eating, parrots are greedy guys.

Curiously, I asked why I had to run up and eat, hehe.

That boss feeds you a higher level of feed than you.

Or live food, bloodworms, shrimp or something. Generally, not.

It is estimated that it is expensive feed, and your feed tastes small and you don't want to eat it.

Parrot fish and map fish both like to eat live river fish!

There is a serious lack of oxygen in your fish tank water, and there are too many harmful factors, and the water quality has been polluted, which may be related to the fact that there are many fish in your tank and the water is not changed enough.

One of the roughness of the body is probably due to squamous disease, which is related to water pollution. Percutaneous infection occurs when the water is polluted and the fish body is injured. Symptoms: The scales are erect, the eyeballs are protruding, the abdomen is distended, ascites, there is fluid in the squamous sac, and the exudate can be ejected by pressing the scales lightly.

Prevention and control methods: 1. Mix 4/10,000 of salt and 4/10,000 baking soda and sprinkle the whole tank or medicated bath, which can be used for vertical scale disease.

2. Use 2 grams of nitrofuracillin powder plus gentamicin, and dissolve them in an aquarium of 80 cm * 50 cm * 40 cm, and the long-term medicinal bath has a certain curative effect, especially for the sick fish in the early stage of the disease.

3. Feeding sulfadiazine (SD) has a special effect. The method is to first raise the sick fish in salt water, stop eating for two days, empty the intestinal contents, and then put it back into clean water, and make sulfadiazine into small particles and feed it. Each gram, once every other day, 5 times in a row.

This method can also be used to prevent erect squamous disease during the onset season. Diseased fish with ascites should first be aspirated with a syringe.

4. Salt water bath method: use 2 concentrations of salt water, soak the sick fish for 10 minutes, once a week, after continuous soaking 3 or 4 times, continue to rest, and soon get better or **.

Keeping the tank water clean and strictly controlling the temperature difference of the water change (no more than 2 degrees) can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of the disease. Erection squamous disease is more difficult**, and even if**, the scales are not as compact as before the disease, which damages the ornamental value.

There are monsters in the water haha. Just kidding, it's up to you to feed you. My parrots float up when they see someone passing in front of the bathtub and wait to eat.

Newly bought parrot fish heads should not be fed for three days, parrot fish are "timid" by nature and need to adapt to the new environment for a period of time. It doesn't matter.

Parrot fish are timid, just adapt slowly, it's okay, you don't need to feed for these two days.

It may be unfamiliar with the environment, which makes the fish nervous, and it will eat slowly.

You may not be familiar with the atmosphere of your home!

Feed small particles of sediment or nematodes as well.

The reason why the parrot fish I just bought doesn't eat:

1. Not adapting to the new environment. Parrot fish are hybrid fish, very skinny, but very timid. Just into the tank will almost shrink in a corner, dare not come out to eat, this is normal, careful observation will find that the parrot in the morning up color is very good, once the light will fade, the state change is obvious.

2. It's not the food it's used to eating. Not eating may be because the fish merchant is not the same as you, such as feeding the jumping worms or nematodes at the fish merchant, after you arrive at your house, you can not adapt to it immediately, it doesn't matter, the fish is not afraid of hunger, this is the process of food training, it will naturally eat the feed you give when it is hungry.

3. Timid and afraid of people. Don't stand next to the tank after feeding and watch them eat, they are timid, parrot fish have not adapted to the environment, generally fish to adapt to the environment for a few days, just a few days before entering the tank there will be fading, timid, do not eat, etc., carefully raised, slowly will be bold, the body color is gradually bright, the water temperature is kept at 28 degrees, plus or minus 1 degree is the best. The quality of the water can be maintained by changing the water.

The method of changing the water is: about three to five days to change about one-third of the water, pay attention not to use the tap water that has just been connected, after the tap water is connected, it is best to put it for two or three days, and then change the water Because the tap water contains a large number of harmful substances to the fish Another is to pay attention to the water temperature control of the water change, the new water and the water in the original tank, the water temperature should not be plus or minus 1 degree is the best
